What is an ICR?

An Information Collection Request (ICR) is a federal agency's request for approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to collect information from the public. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), agencies must justify why the information is needed and how it will be used.

When are they submitted?

Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify an information collection. Each ICR includes a description of the collection, supporting materials and documentation (such as forms, surveys, or scripts), and proof that the agency has met the requirements of the PRA.

The ICR is submitted to the The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within OMB for review and approval. OIRA grants approval for a maximum of three years, after which the collection must be renewed through a new ICR submission.

Where to find an ICR?

ICRs are publicly available on RegInfo.gov, and additional guidance can be found in the FAQs.

Note: Presidential Action influences are notated for ICRs received between January 20, 2025 and July 19, 2025.

Notice Requirements for Fertility Excepted Benefits (CMS-10947)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 2791(c)(2) of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), section 733(c)(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and section 9832(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) establishing four statutory categories of "excepted benefits" that are generally exempt from the health reform requirements added to those laws by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), the No Surprises Act, and certain other federal laws specifically related to group health plans and group and individual health insurance coverage. On February 18, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14216, "Expanding Access to In Vitro Fertilization," which instructs the Departments to provide support, awareness, and access to affordable fertility treatments, including reliable access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, by easing unnecessary statutory or regulatory burdens to make IVF treatment drastically more affordable. In the proposed rule "Excepted Fertility Benefits" (the proposed rule), the Departments propose to add new paragraph (c)(3)(ix) of 26 CFR 54.9831-1 and 29 CFR 2590.732, and new paragraph (b)(3)(ix) of 45 CFR 146.145 to establish fertility benefits as a new category of limited excepted benefits. The proposed rule would require that plans or issuers offering excepted fertility benefits provide written notice to plan participants and beneficiaries that includes a description of the coverage, including a summary of benefits and limitations of the coverage, including the lifetime dollar limit established by the plan or issuer that complies with the maximum lifetime dollar limit described in proposed paragraph (c)(3)(ix)(B) (or paragraph (b)(3)(ix)(B), as applicable),information on how to identify and utilize a network provider, if applicable, and how to submit a claim for reimbursement, including whether the benefit utilizes the same claims procedure as for the sponsor’s other group health plans. This notice requirement ensures that participants and beneficiaries are fully informed about the availability and requirements of their excepted fertility benefits coverage.

Limited Excepted Fertility Benefits

Key Information

Abstract

On February 18, 2025, Executive Order 14216 was issued to ensure reliable access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and provide more affordable treatment options, recognizing both the medical necessity of infertility treatment for affected individuals and the broader importance of supporting American families in achieving their reproductive goals. This proposed rule would implement that approach by recognizing limited fertility benefits as “other similar, limited benefits” specified in regulations. Under the proposal, limited fertility benefits would include benefits substantially all of which are for the diagnosis, mitigation, or treatment of infertility or infertility-related reproductive health conditions by medical professionals authorized to practice under applicable law, including evidence-based items or services targeted to address such conditions. In the group market, such benefits would be excepted only if they are provided under a separate policy, certificate, or contract of insurance or are otherwise not an integral part of the plan, satisfy a lifetime dollar limit of $120,000 as adjusted for medical inflation, and are accompanied by a written notice to participants and beneficiaries. The notice would describe the coverage, including benefits and limitations, explain how to identify and use network providers if applicable, and explain how to submit claims for reimbursement. The Department of Health and Human Services also proposes to amend the individual market excepted benefits regulations to recognize limited fertility benefits as limited excepted benefits in the individual market if they are offered under a separate policy, certificate, or contract of insurance and satisfy the scope, lifetime dollar limit, and notice requirements. The proposed rule is intended to provide employers and issuers with additional flexibility to offer standalone fertility-related coverage, including coverage for services such as diagnostic testing, infertility treatment, and IVF, while reducing regulatory burden and promoting access to fertility benefits.

Reparations Complaint, CFTC Form 30

Key Information

Abstract

Pursuant to Section 14 of the Commodity Exchange Act, members of the public may apply to the Commission to seek damages against Commission registrants for alleged violations of the Act and/or Commission regulations. The legislative intent of this reparations program was to provide a low-cost, speedy, and effective forum for the resolution of customer complaints and to sanction individuals and firms found to have violated the Act and/or any regulations. In 1984, the Commission promulgated Part 12 of the Commission regulations to administer Section 14. Rule 12.13 provides the standards and procedures for filing a reparations complaint. Specifically, subparagraph (b) describes the form and content requirements of a complaint. CFTC Form 30, created in or about 1984, mirrors the requirements set forth in subparagraph (b). The form was created to assist customers--who are typically pro se and non-lawyers--and also to provide proper notice to respondents of the charges against them. In November 2017, the Commission requested, and was granted, an OMB number to this PRA collection based on Form 30. This request represents a renewal of the current collection.

Key Information

Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to conform the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act hazardous chemical inventory reporting regulations to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Hazard Communication Standard amendments of 2012 and 2024. The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act and its regulations rely on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Hazard Communication Standard for the definition of a hazardous chemical and for the categories of health and physical hazards that must be reported under the hazardous chemical inventory regulations. This action proposes to conform the terminology used and information that must be reported on the hazardous chemical inventory forms to the Hazard Communication Standard amendments. As a result, this proposed action would also improve first responder and community safety, reduce discrepancies and confusion, prevent interpretation burdens on facilities when using (Material) Safety Data Sheets to complete annual hazardous chemical inventory reports, and improve clarity.

Abstract

The information will be collected solely from organizations and third-party requestors, such as law firms or other entities acting on behalf of organizations, that seek a meeting with the Administrator. The implementation of an online portal will facilitate the ease and efficiency of submitting requests. Requestors will have the capability to securely enter their requests electronically through this portal. Information collection is voluntary, whether or not it is provided through the portal or via a letter, but no matter how it is submitted to CMS, failure to provide the requested information will result in CMS’s inability to review, process, and/or act on the request. The data collected via the portal will be used by CMS to adjudicate meeting requests. The uses for this data are limited to the following administrative purposes: disposition of meeting (deciding whether or not to accept, delegate, or decline the meeting request), managing meeting logistics and scheduling coordination; gathering basic organizational information for preparation; conducting conflict of interest and ethics screening when necessary; and performing follow-up activities for accountability. CMS does not require organizations to submit information beyond what is essential. All data collected are subject to privacy and confidentiality requirements and serve legitimate governmental purposes. Requestors will be assigned a confirmation number for their request when they submit it. They will also receive an acknowledgement email corresponding to their request that confirms that CMS received their submission.

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and implementing regulations at 42 CFR, Medicare Advantage (MA) organizations and Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) sponsors are required to submit annual medical loss ratio (MLR) reports (at the contract level) to the Secretary of HHS concerning the amount spent on claims, quality improvement expenses, non-claims costs, Federal and State taxes, licensing and regulatory fees, and revenue. Plan sponsors must provide a remittance to the Secretary if the amount spent in a reporting year on certain costs compared to its revenue (excluding Federal and States taxes and licensing and regulatory fees) is below a certain ratio, referred to as the medical loss ratio (MLR). MA organizations and Part D sponsors are required to report their MLR to CMS, and are subject to financial and other penalties for a failure to meet a statutory requirement that they have an MLR of at least 85 percent. The Affordable Care Act requires several levels of sanctions for failure to meet the 85 percent minimum MLR requirement, including remittance of funds to CMS, a prohibition on enrolling new members, and ultimately contract termination. Plan sponsors will use the MLR Reporting Tool to provide contract-level MLR information to CMS. The information provided in this MLR Report is the basis for computing the contract's MLR percentage and remittance amount, if any, for a contract year.

Section 102 (2)(c) of National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Pub.L 91-190) (42 U.S.C. 4321) requires that all Federal agencies consider the environmental impact of its decisions regarding those activities that are major federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment; produce a detailed statement on the environmental impact of the proposed actions that addresses any adverse environmental effects which cannot be avoided; and produce alternatives to the proposed action. To carry this out, under Parts 153.8, 157.14(a)(7), 157.206(b), and 380.12-.14380.12 of its regulations, the Commission requires applicants seeking authorization to construct and abandon facilities to provide a detailed environmental report alongenvironmental related information with their application, addressing resource areas affected by the proposed action. The environmental report consists of at least twelve separate reports, each addressing a particular resource area. The repo The informationrt also describes the impact the project is likely to have, and the measures the applicant will implement to mitigate those impacts. The remaining component of FERC-577 identifies theUnder Parts 2.55(c), 157.6(d), 157.203(d), 284.11(b), and 380.15 of its regulations, the Commission established that Commission’s regulations which require that a natural gas company must notify affected landowners of planned activities at least five days prior to coming onto their property for certain activities.

Abstract

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA; Pub. L. 115-97) created a tax incentive for investors who reinvest eligible capital gains into Qualified Opportunity Funds (QOFs) that in turn deploy these resources into certain distressed census tracts in the 50 states, U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia (collectively, “States”) which may be designated as Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs). A QOF is an investment vehicle that is organized as a corporation or partnership for the purpose of investing in QOZ property (other than another QOF). QOZs are certain low-income community (LIC) eligible census tracts nominated by the States, and certified and designated by the Secretary of the Treasury (Secretary). Taxpayers who invest in a QOZ can receive certain tax benefits for their investments as an incentive to improve economic growth and job creation in underserved communities. Section 70421 of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA, Pub. L. 119-21), signed into law on July 4, 2025, made the QOZ incentives permanent and, pertinent to this collection of information, established new dates by which eligible census tracts may be nominated as a QOZ by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a State. The designation period for the first set of new QOZs will begin on July 1, 2026, with additional rounds of designations to follow every ten years thereafter. New approved designations will become effective as of January 1, 2027, and will remain in effect for a similar ten-year period. To take advantage of this incentive, State CEOs must nominate eligible census tracts for designation as a QOZ during a 90-day period, subject to a single 30-day extension period, beginning on July 1, 2026. The Secretary certifies such nominations and designates the eligible census tract as a QOZ within 30 days of receiving notice from the CEO that the State has made its nomination. In response to these statutory requirements, the CDFI Fund will reinstate the OZ Nomination Tool, which will assist the Secretary in the certification and designation process.
